The day begins with an open practice for the football team at 11 a.m. at Scheumann Stadium. Saturday marks the final spring practice for the Cardinals, who are coming off back-to-back bowl berths for just the third time ever.
Also starting at 11 a.m. will be the second day of the We Fly Challenge for the track and field team in its only home meet of the season. Friday will feature field events, while Saturday will include running events and a senior recognition.
First pitch for the baseball doubleheader vs. Akron begins at noon at the Ball Diamond at First Merchants Ballpark Complex.

The day concludes with a men's volleyball match against Quincy inside Worthen Arena at 7 p.m. in the quarterfinals of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA) Tournament.
